Thank you next lyrics quadeca7/24/2023 Real Thing is about how he’s the real thing, but features a lot of lyrics that contradict that original thought which further shows the inner battle he faces. ![]() This song really shows the battle between the two major sides of him, the more depressed side and the ego controlled side. There’s some cold punchlines in here which makes for a fun, short banger track. This song is pretty braggadocios and reminds me of Eminem flow wise. Uh Huh! is much more energetic and another song that’s clearly just for fun. ![]() He touches on suicidal thoughts at the end about wishing he didn’t wake up which is pretty real and sad. This switch turns that track more melancholy as he talks about wanting to be popular and having to follow trends to stay popular. I liked the soulful chords and the beat switch into second half which slows down the song. ![]() Red Dot features a pretty glitzy keyboard and the topic of social media and the pressure to follow trends. All in all I was very impressed with this song. There’s another beat switch into the end of the track where it spirals down a bit and he talks about being stuck in depression. This song is pretty creative and an interesting listen and really stands out for me on this album. This song has some really good wordplay, and a beat switch into the second half where we hear from his egos perspective. This is one of the deeper songs as he talks about disconnecting with himself, the bad side of his life, and a very pessimistic view on life from the man or devil in his left shoulder. The Man On My Left Shoulder starts with very low key, almost Jocelyn Flores type vocals but changes up pretty quickly. I didn’t personally like the beat style or delivery, but this was clearly just a song meant to be for fun. This is a very goofy song but showcases some good wordplay. Thank You Next sort of has a Lil Pump type beat and a very basic production. I enjoyed the dark vibes and moments of intense and loud production that give the song a big dynamic range. He talks about taking drugs and their effects as well as his broken heart that still beats. In the past all he wanted was a chance and for people to listen to him, and now it feels good that he’s finally getting some recognition for his hard work.Ī Dream I Can’t Remember (Interlude) is a very slow and dark interlude that has a very deep bass at times. Imagination is a song about imagining success in the past and thinking how great it would be, and reflecting back on that now he has a taste of success. He showcases a pretty impressive flow in second verse as we hear about how his ego is his drive and the ways the he’s holding himself back and focused on the wrong things. In this song he’s talking to his older self and telling himself that he doesn’t need to worry about what people say. I’m a sucker for good closer tracks and I feel like this was done really well and wraps up the album very nicely giving it a sense of wholeness.Įgo Death kicks off the album with some xylophone type sounds and a pretty relaxed and slow start. The highlight of the album for me as definitely the final track where he talks about his different songs and sort of summarizes his main points in a very concise way. Another small thing I didn’t like was the auto time chorus’s at times which gave it a more emo rap feel that I’m personally not into. To me my least favorite moment came on Thank You Next which was a more bare bones song with a basic beat and more flat topic, but moments like that were few and far between. It seems like we’re in the rowboat in his mind and going through his thoughts on his position in the rap game and what’s to come. On the intro he says that his songs are bipolar like Kanye and that does seem true as the topics can juxtaposition each other at times as we jump from song to song. For me that’s the basic feel the album had since the topics range from braggadocios and in your face with songs like Uh Huh!, but also talk a lot about self doubt and loneliness on songs like The Man On My Left Shoulder and Rowboat. Being titled Voice Memos, I think the concept he was going for here was a collection of songs that are recorded on your phone in the voice memos app so that you can quickly get out your thoughts and return to them later. ![]() What I liked most about this album was the diversity of beats, topics, and flows that are talked about and used throughout, yet the overall sense of wholeness the album had. I’ve seen Quadeca’s videos on YouTube before but haven’t been able to check out this album until now. Overall I found this album to be very enjoyable and I’m glad that people recommended this album to me. Voice Memos is Youtube producer/rapper Quadeca’s 2019 album, announced Novemat the end of his music video for “ Unusual”.
